HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 37087 of 2025 Court No. - 67 HON'BLE KRISHAN PAHAL, J.
1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Sri Pankaj Satsangi, learned counsel for applicant, Sri Arun Kumar Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No.117 of 2025, under Sections 85, 80(2), 115(2), 103(1) B.N.S. and 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station Moosajhag, District Budaun with the prayer to enlarge him on bail. 4. As per prosecution story, the marriage of the applicant was solemnized with the deceased person as per Hindu Rites about two years before her death and subsequent to it, the applicant and other family members are stated to have subjected her to cruelty for demand of dowry, thereby assaulted her and committed her murder on 28.05.2025 at about 1:00 p.m.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the applicant has nothing to do with the said offence. The deceased person has been murdered by some unknown person. The applicant is in jail since 11.06.2025 and is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the deceased has expired within the precincts of the house Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Pankaj Satsangi Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Prem .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s)
of the applicant and there are five injuries sustained by the deceased person and the cause of death was shock and hemorrhage due to ante-mortem injuries. 7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the deceased has expired within the precincts of the house of the applicant and the injuries have not been explained, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected. 8.
However, it is directed that the aforesaid case pending before the trial court be decided expeditiously as early as possible in view of the principle as has been laid down in the recent judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Vinod Kumar vs. State of Punjab; 2015 (3) SCC 220 and Hussain and Another vs. Union of India; (2017) 5 SCC 702, if there is no legal impediment. 9. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
